Nine Years in a Flash!

WHOA! It is amazing how quickly our little girl has gone from this wide eyed baby girl,

To this:

Increasingly wide-eyed energetic nine-year old young lady.
Gotta love birthdays, especially where Big Sister is concerned. She picks out her party themes and colors months in advance, draws sketches of her cake design, and plans out almost every detail. She seriously could have a future in party planning. Oh, the lists she can create! This year, she chose turquoise and lime green as her "theme colors" and decided a party of 10 would join her at the local roller skating rink to commemorate her 9th Birthday!

Birthday Card created by a Little Dude
Flowers chosen by Little Dudes - Vibrant like Big Sister
Cake collaboration - Hubby makes a fabulous roller skate


Making her wish...hoping it comes true!


Now, as if a BIG birthday bash was not enough. Big Sister insisted on attending the school's Decades Dance. I promised her we would attend the event for an hour before joining Hubby and the Little Dudes at a local restaurant to have her "Birthday" dinner. Here she is dancing to the all-time favorite 70's tune, "YMCA."

It was definitely a busy but MEMORABLE birthday. She told me just today, she has already decided on her color scheme for next year!
